Lodi Castle began to build in 1548 by brothers Louis and John Lodi. Construction of the castle began with the permission of the duke of Trogir Gartsonicha. But the castle was never finished, because brothers died during the construction. Son of John Lodi did not continue the work of his father, of the whole family was only his sister Catherine, who had no male heirs. Thus, the castle remained unfinished Lodi.

In appearance resembles a medieval castle Lodi stone fort with massive wooden doors leading to the mainland. Like many Castelo, Lodi construction began on a small island, so the lock is connected to the shore of a small stone bridge.

At the end of the 17th century building it became the property of a noble family Papalich. The unfinished castle became a haven for refugees from Uskok, devastated by Turkish raids. For a long time the technical condition of the lock nobody watched, so he began to break and quickly emptied.

In 2009-2012 he was a large-scale reconstruction of Lodi. In 2010, the floors of the building have been restored, with the help of metal structures were reinforced walls. In addition, the lock was electrified, now the premises of the castle hosts a variety of cultural events.
